We all have our favorite brunch spots, but with 11,247 eateries and counting filling our state, it’s good to mix it up every now and again. Here are four Denver restaurants with recently updated brunch menus that are worth checking out. A word to the wise: Come hungry!

Beatrice and Woodsley, 38 S. Broadway
When: Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What: At the end of last year, Beatrice and Woodsley updated its already delicious brunch offerings with a new menu and expanded hours. For four and a half hours each weekend day, dive into dishes like apple pie pancakes, asparagus benedict, cotechino sausage hash, “Grandma’s biscuits,” bruleed grapefruit with a sweet and salted almond and olive oil crumb and “Boozy-bucha,” its house-made kombucha mixed with vodka. You’ll want to start planning multiple visits now.

Café Marmotte, 290 S. Downing St.
When: Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What: Café Marmotte debuted its brunch in May of 2016, and it’s been a Denver favorite ever since. As with the rest of his menu, chef Mark Reggiannini focuses on French favorites and modern twists on classic dishes. Fill your plate with one of four benedicts—from a classic to a bahn mi rendition—or brunch classics like a French omelette with cave-aged Gruyère, French toast, steak and eggs or a delicious Croque Madame, and wash the morning down with bottomless mimosas or a seasonal cocktail.

SOL Mexican Cocina, 200 Columbine St.
When: Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
What: Make yourway to SOL Mexican Cocina for a south of the border meal. The brunch menu, although small, combines the best of both breakfast and lunch with a breakfast burrito, chilaquiles verde, smothered burrito, chorizo and potato scramble, crab and shrimp benedict, a potato, cheese and bacon scramble, Huevos rancheros and an unforgettable bread-pudding French toast up for order. Drinks, of course, are on the menu, too: We recommend the mango mimosa.
